Primary School Reading Improvement Program (PSRIP) Monitoring and Evaluation

Greeting parents, guardians and community members

The Primary School Reading Improvement Program (PSRIP) is an ETDPSETA-funded program that supports learners, teachers, and subject advisors. The program is aimed at improving the quality of teaching and learning in public schools through the improvement of literacy and reading in grades 1-6.

Objective

The PSRIP goals are founded on the understanding that reading is essential for learning in all subjects. It enhances life prospects and satisfaction. In line with this, the NECT backs the South African Book Development Council.

We would like to request your participation in a comprehensive survey aimed at understanding the challenges and successes of the overall participation rates in school reading events and activities. Your valuable input will provide crucial insights into the overall participation of parents, guardians, and community members, thus paving the way for targeted interventions and effective support strategies. The survey questions have been carefully curated by a team of teachers who have firsthand experience at teaching and learning. As individuals dedicated to shaping young minds, your perspectives are invaluable in unraveling the complexities surrounding this critical aspect of education.

By taking part in this survey, you are not only contributing to the advancement of reading and educational progress but also helping foster equitable learning environments for all stakeholders who are part of our ecosystem.

Your voice as a parent, guardian, and community member is very important to understanding how best to implement and generate support for the variety of reading programs in our ecosystem. Thank you for your time and commitment to enhancing pedagogical practices.

Rest assured that all responses will be treated confidentially, with utmost respect for your anonymity. Only the research team will have access to the data collected in the survey.
